As our fellow Australians down south in NSW and Victoria are facing what can only be described as an apocalyptic fire event, the rest of Australia is coming together and doing their part to help out in any way possible.

While patrolling around the Port Douglas area, Constables Hannah Mulholland Matt Cornish came across two charitable young boys who wanted to raise some hard earned money to send down to our neighbouring states in need.

Larelle Rielly’s two sons have been asking a lot of questions at the moment regarding the bush fires that have swept the country. The biggest question has of course been: “How can we help?”

The boys did some solid brain storming before the obvious idea came to mind.

With the help of their mother, the two boys set up a table, umbrella, handwritten signs and of course an esky full of icy cold lemonade.

“We met with the boys and sampled some of their produce. After a simply magical drop an idea came to mind,” said the police officers.

With all things, exposure is the key so with the police on side, the boys moved their stall to the main road of Port Douglas, to a nice shady place under the palm trees of Port Douglas Road.

The police also decided this would be the perfect place to set up a road side breath testing site.

The drivers were waved in for breath tests and license checks and once in the clear, they were greeted by young Jack, Will and their lemonade stand.
